Bearded Bonus List



BONUS		BARGAIN HUNTER (Sold Out)
TB , 39" (99 CM) , MIDSEASON-LATE
Bargain Hunter gives plenty of value for the money. It makes a startling clump filled with well branched stalks having 3 branches and 8-9 buds. Crisp white flowers are touched with purple lines over the lower half of falls. Bright orange beards are highlighted by hafts brushed with yellow. Substance is much sturdier than many of this type. Accent here is on the smashingly beautiful clumps and healthy, vigorous plants.

BONUS		CALGARY
TB , 40" (102 CM) , MIDSEASON
Even though it is a bonus plant, it is still overall one of the best introductions for this year. It grows strong and fast which is one of the traits we look for when choosing bonus material. Its superior clump effect can be seen in the picture above. Domed standards are blue white tinted light pink. Falls are mid blue with an overall rosy cast and rosier hafts. White beards are tipped tangerine. Show stalks usually have around 8-10 buds. Clean, purple based foliage.

BONUS		GOOD LIFE
TB , 32" (81 CM) , MIDSEASON-LATE
Good Life is another advancement in the quest for strong growing, hardy plicatas. It inherits strong growth and hardiness from First Page and the pretty plicata pattern of Silk Brocade. Palest pink standards are sanded, veined and washed red violet. White falls are narrowly edged with red-grape plicata bands and heavier, more red plum hafts. Soft tangerine over white beards give a bit more interest. Strong, vigorous growth produces show stalks with 3 branches and spur and 9-10 buds. Clumps are very feminine and pretty.

BONUS		PENGUIN PARTY (Sold Out)
TB , 34" (86 CM) , MIDSEASON
Look at all the cute little penguins decked out in their tuxedos, it must be a Penguin Party. These highly contrasted flowers represent another step forward in the quest for a vigorous black and white plicata. The near black color of the standards repeats in a band around stark white, strongly flared falls. Well-branched stalks have 7 buds. Makes very showy clumps that draw people to it.

BONUS		PINK INVASION
TB , 42" (107 CM) , MIDSEASON-LATE
In the case of Pink Invasion, invasion connotes the rapid formation of clumps filled with well-branched stalks carrying multitudes of lovely pink flowers.
